J. Paul Grayson

I am the author of numerous articles and monographs. My interdisciplinary research interests have focussed on political sociology, the sociology of literature, the causes and consequences of plant shutdowns, work and health, training design and development, educational outcomes, and the quality of life. My current research is on the student experience.

My approach to teaching involves using the subject matter of sociology as a medium through which students develop the skills needed to develop analytical, communication, social, and other critical skills. As a result, students are required, on a weekly basis, to discuss case studies and subject matter problems with other students and write synopses of their discussions that reflect what occurred in their decision making processes.
